Biden was a candidate up till a few days ago. So Biden is still the oldest candidate ever.
trump might grab the "oldest nominee ever" because he's born a couple months later than Biden.
Similarly, trump took office at 70 years and 220 days in 2016, so he could also grab "oldest to enter office", that record is held by 2020 Biden at 78 years, 61 days in the unfortunate case he wins.
I know it's just a meme. But it's worth the accuracy of being pedantic.
Trump was nominated by his party at the RNC in July. The Democrats will nominate their candidate next month at the DNC, and that will be Harris. Biden is no longer running for president. Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest nominee ever, and Kamala Harris.
I didn't change anything, my post hasn't been edited, unlike yours.
I said nominee, and I specifically explained where Trump, Biden and Harris stand in the nomination process.
You even quoted me correctly:
Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest **nominee ** ever, and Kamala Harris.
If you need time to make sense of it, take your time.
Are you sure there hasn't been someone older that lost?
Not for the major parties: Reps and Dems. If there has been a candidate for some BS tiny party, I can't say because I don't have full history on the fools and nonsense that usually adorn all political cycles. I'm only speaking for the main parties for which we have info.
I thought the DNC didn't name their candidate until after the convention. He was the presumptive candidate as the incumbent, but I didn't think he had official candidacy yet.
